First, Nielsen named it the number-one concealer in both the mass and prestige makeup categories, based on their data for dollar and unit sales at major retailers from February 2017 to February 2018. We're not the only ones obsessed with Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer. Those ingredients are welcome additions, but if you buy this product, I wouldn't ditch your eye cream any time soon. The formula also includes ingredients, like goji berry and haloxyl, that will nix dark circles and fine lines over time. This, combined with shadow-neutralizing, redness-concealing pigments, makes your under-eyes look bright, smooth, and refreshed.

When it dries down, it doesn't look powdery on top of your skin or settle into fine lines. It's not matte or luminous, but it does have a bit of a sheen. The finish of this concealer formula is also really important. If I apply too much, or I'm layering this over foundation, sometimes I'll use my Beautyblender (damp, of course) to pick up any excess pigment. Just twist the top of the tube to push the pigment up and out of the cushy sponge tip (one or two clicks give you enough for one under-eye), dot the sponge tip onto your skin, and blend it out with your finger. And because it's so thin, it blends really, really easily it doesn't take much effort to diffuse it over your skin. You can even get a sense of your skin's natural texture and luminosity when wearing it. It completely covers up dark circles, the shadows along the inner corners of your eyes, and redness on and along your nose and cheeks without adding any obvious cakey texture to your skin. But the minute I started blending it over my skin, I was impressed.Īvailable in 12 shades (including a "Neutralizer" and a "Corrector," but more on those in a second), the liquid formula is super pigmented yet extremely thin in texture. To be honest, it may have been the only thing sitting on my desk when I needed to get ready for an after-work event, so I used it out of necessity. I remember when it first came out (I was a wee beauty assistant at the time), but it wasn't until earlier in 2018, when they announced they were expanding the shade range, that I decided to give it a chance.

That's one reason it took me so long to try the Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer.

Yes, I know, it sounds obnoxious, but some people like to invest in good quality cashmere sweaters I like to invest in good quality complexion enhancers. I'll use drugstore lipsticks, liners, and mascaras, but if it's meant to perfect my skin, I always go for the pricey stuff. Basically, I'm a brat about base products. And setting powder, blush, and bronzer, too.
